papertrey ink december...

Me again :), back with the rest of my Papertrey Ink December projects. If you're in the mood for a little shopping, all of these new supplies will be available at 10PM EST on December 15th. I *HEART* this release. It's been so much fun working with all things heartfelt and heart-shaped :).

My first card uses the new Boutique Borders: Valentine stamp set and coordinating die. I layered hearts over the die cut border which I embossed in gold. All of the hearts shown here and throughout my projects today have been cut using the Limitless Layers: Heart Stitches, Limitless Layers: 2 1/4" Hearts, Heart Prints, Wonderful Words - Love, and Framed Out #11 dies. You'll be seeing them al ot, but I say, one can never have too many hearts, now can they :).

I used some sweet paper from Maggie Holmes/Crate Paper on a few of my cards today, as the sweet, soft, colors were just what I needed to inspire me. The scrunched seam binding used is from My Craft Spot.

Next up is a card which uses the new Heart Squared stamp set and die along with the Wonderful Words - Love stamp and die. I also used the new Tag Sale #9 die here as well.

My frame is embossed using both white and Zing Blush embossing powder.

The new It's a Banner Day and Inside & Out Love stamp sets were used on this card.

The tiny felt flowers and leaves uses here and there are from the new The Best is Yet to Be die collection...the tinier the better :). Love to use these as added little details wherever I can.

Love Struck is another fun set which I used on these glassine treat bags. The arrow images have been embossed in silver and embellished with a vellum die cut heart and embellishment from Freckled Fawn.

Inside I used the new Tag Sale #9 die again and Sweet Blush Stripe paper along with more images and sentiments from Love Struck as well as a Freckled Fawn arrow clip.

Polka Dot Parade #11 is next and who could possibly resist it? Such a cute little owl, with sweet accents to add and make it even more unique. So nice that a coordinating die collection is available too.

And lastly, I used a few sentiments from the Propose a Toast stamp set on this card, with each being stamped on a die cut Tremendous Tag. I love, love, love, the font used in this stamp set, with the bitty floating hearts and wispy images. Lots of fun.

That will wrap it up for me this month. Can't wait to see what is in store for us in January! For now though, back into enjoying the last few days before Christmas arrives with a little girl who has been under the weather lately. I hope you've been able to sit back and soak it all in.
